When Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called a hearing on Muslim radicalism, he
probably didn’t expect Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) to turn the
spotlight on “Christian militants.”

But that’s exactly what she did Wednesday.

Jackson Lee noted that one witness who wrote a letter to the
committee about the dangers of radical Islam in prisons had been
arrested for bombing an abortion clinic.

“Are you familiar with the Christian militants?” she asked former New
York Dept. of Correctional Services official Patrick Dunleavy. “Can one
might say that they might possibly want to undermine this country
because right now the right for women to choose is a Constitutional
right but people disagree with it but here is an individual trying to
undermine the protections that are given to women? Would you suggest
that might be compared to trying to undermine this country? That’s a
possibility, is it not?”
